School Vouchers are a way to end Social Program dependancy.
School choice is the first step in drastically lowering and eventually ending social reliance on federally funded programs. By allowing all children, regardless of social standing, to obtain the best education available, we enable them to end the cycle of poverty by way of ending the cycle of ignorance. Offering our poor, handicapped, and non-conventional learners the opportunity explore and obtain educational opportunities that will allow them to advance through life in an upwardly mobile manor...
Michael Bloomberg would make an excellent president.
While he has yet to indicate that he is running and stipulates almost daily that he is not, Michael Bloomberg has engaged in a secretive investigation into his viability as a candidate. He would not only be a very strong candidate, due to his ability to fund his own campaign and his national network of business and personal associates, but would be the best potential president of everyone running. He has excellent executive experience, both as the head of his corporation, Bloomberg LP and...
The American Invasion of Afghanistan was justifiable.
Good morning/afternoon/evening, I would like to first thank my opponent for joining me here today/tonight for this debate and any onlookers for partially judging this debate. I would also like to eventually thank any voters who vote for me in this debate. Now my points: 1) After the 9/11 attacks the U.S. was fully justified to attack Afghanistan because it was an act of self-defence. There was viable proof that Afghanistan harbored several terrorists that conspired in the 9/11 plot, the...

Zoos do more harm than good.
Thank you crazypenguin, for your time and for the honor of having your first debate, judging by the fact you logged on for the first time right next to me. First off, many people think that zoos help endangered animals, and returned them to the wild. In reality, there are over 6,000 endangered animals and million upon millions of endangered plant species.On record, only 162 animal species are housed in zoos WORLDWIDE and of those few only 16 have ever been returned to the wild. These species...
The US can use military force to stop threats from acquiring nuclear weapons.
First, nations should only take actions that are in their best interest for three reasons. 1. the ultimate purpose of a nation is to protect its citizenry from outside threats or else the citizens wouldn't give up some of their freedoms to be a part of it. If a nation poses a threat to the citizens of another nation, that government has a moral responsibility to act in the best interest of its people. 2. Nations wouldn't exist if they failed to act in self-interest. They must do everything...
McDonald's can be harmful.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Good (whenever you are reading this) Thank you for accepting this debate. My first point: McDonald's kills animals for food. This in itself proves that McDonald's can be harmful because McDonald's is harmful to animals. No further argument is needed for this point. My second point: McDonald's is fattening. According to the McDonald's website, a cheeseburger alone has 6 grams of saturated fat. A ten-piece Chicken McNuggets has 1120 mg of sodium. And did y...
No body really deserves arbitrary respect.
People always say that everyone deserves the utmost respect. When someone speaks in class to present their work, it is a given that they get respect. Teachers always tell their students to treat each other with respect. Yet if every one gave and in return got respect, what is the merit of even having it. Like money and power, respect is something people earn rather than deserve. It is apparent that today's society has grown so sensitive that criticism is often misconstrued as an insult. Many tim...
Gay Marriage is Wrong
Why should lovers stop just because they are frowned upon? It has been said that Gay Marriage goes against the bible, but that leads me to ask- "Why is this being handled by the state?" I was under the impression that Church and State were separate. I understand how nice it is that people are trying to keep Americans out of hell, but shouldn't the individuals take that risk themselves? Why not institute laws against atheism? Or we could just jump the gun completely and publicly stone...
Religions are corruptions of man's interpretation of that which he does not understand...
If we examine the historical, geopolitical, and logical aspects of religion we find that though there is logic in many fundamentals of religion- including actual science- it is at it's core the mass representation of the few manipulated by different men by different means and with different results. There are core contradictions for which formulated answers have been long adhered to, yet the logic many times is actually more in tune with the overall doctrine. Even so, the adherents of religi...
